Anime-Planet: Hidamari Sketch Review

Anime-Planet: 4-koma adapatations are probably among my favorite anime. Their predictable pacing relaxes me, and the humor can range from raunchy (Doujin Work) to deliberately strange (Azumanga Daioh). Of these, ones set in high school seem to pop up again and again, threatening to make the genre grow stale. And then, there's Hidamari Sketch. SHAFT's work stands from the crowd out by marrying simple characters, spectacular sound direction, and off-the-wall visuals to offer a unique spin on the life of an art student.
